Your first time Camping:

We totally went camping with the Schmidt Family to Bryce canyon and had a blast! We rented a van and you, dad and myself sat in the very back with Andrea and Ross and their kids in front of us. I was so nervous to take you camping... but you were awesome! You slept every time we got in the car, you played and smiled at everyone, and went to bed easily and slept through the night. I should have never doubted you!

Riding in the van!

Lunch stop in Nephi

Look how adorable you are at 3 months old!

The kids loved the dirt at our campsite and completed covered themselves everyday!

Check out Allen's "war face" from all the dirt:

You stayed very clean while we were camping - except when you decided to spit up on yourself

Our cute little family:
Check out your awesome hair that refuses to ever lie down!


Horse Back Riding!
Sorry, you didn't get to come because you had to be 6 years old. You stayed behind with Grandma, Aunt Annette, Aunt Andrea, and Aunt Jolynn

Getting ready for the long hike down the mountain and back.

If you look really close you can see the "queen" in profile in the rocks behind us

You like hiking!

We were so tired when we got up to the top - man, mommy's really out of shape!

You were just fine after the hike and took a good long nap.We went to a local restaurant to experience the food. Dad decided he was in the spirit of the place and got an elk burger.

You and dad are great pals and slept in together every morning

Claire, you love this swing so much....we didn't dare not to bring it camping just in case :)
